...now I really love the asymmetric layout and the splash of red. Congratulations! All the best Jon
Could you show me some shots of this from a further angle as well. I have a small wrist, and once tried the rose gold perpetual calender version (41.5mm) , and the lugs jutted out quite significantly. It was stunning though.
Wow. Super watch. I had the big date one, a few years back. I like this one better. Enjoy.
Symmetry is sometimes overrated. Others like the Lange 1, Patek 5712, FPJs etc. do very well with their asymmetrical dials. Frank Gehry comes to mind when it comes to architecture. Thanks Jon.
On my approx. 6.75 inch wrist. Bracelet is very well made and is super comfortable, preferring it to many other top brands. The first link from the watch conforms to the wrist and doesn't flare out as some might lead you to believe unless your wrist size is 6 inches or below. cheers fernando
But it makes perfect sense for a dual time and aesthetically, it adds a new dimension to the dial. The date indicator at 6 to me, is preferable to a date window. The two red hands complete the picture. It's not a boring watch.
